Time once again for the old Imperfect Blogger of the Week award, and today we’re awarding the IBOTWA to: In the Trenches of Mommyhood! She was nominated for this post, which if our own experience is any indication, has a serious “Oh yeah, sister, I’ve been there” vibe to it:
So, it’s 1:15, I’ve barely gone to sleep, and all of a sudden, Eldest is standing at my bedside wimpering. Suddenly, the wimpering morphs into HEAVING. So I usher him into his bathroom, leaving a trail of puke in his wake. Now there’s a puddle in the hallway, and the new bathroom tile is slick with vomit. I rush over to comfort him while his head is in the toilet and squish my bare toes in it, sliding as I’m trying to reach him.
*my gag reflex was working overtime as I typed that*
He finishes and I tuck him back into bed, with the puke bucket firmly at his side. Thankfully, he’s not feverish.
Proceed to clean up the mess on the tile and carpet. (There were chunks, in case you were wondering. You weren’t? Oh. Sorry.)
Read the rest to find out why this was even more than the usual bad timing.
Stay tuned, as next week the voting begins and In the Trenches of Mommyhood goes up against all the other July winners to see who will take home the Imperfect Blogger of the Month Major Award™.

He slept though it!? He slept through it??!!
Please give us the male perspective on this one Prescott: Why the F do the husbands sleep through the most horrible shit?????
Dh has done this to me several times. I think he just pretends to sleep and is really praying that I don’t wipe the kids’ puke on him.
When one of my kids gets sick, it usually lasts 5 or 6 days in our house because they all get each other sick and get it themselves again.

Usually I sleep through it because of all the bourbon.

Yeah, in this case, it was Mr. Jack Daniels.

As all seasoned moms know, “vomit in place” is a sound strategy.
